CDA

Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) is an XML-based document standard developed and maintained by HL7 Structured Document Work Group. It is a specification designed for clinical document exchange between healthcare organizations and is based on a service-oriented environment. The purpose of CDA is to provide a standardized method for the storage and transfer of healthcare documents. Medical providers and technology vendors are focusing their efforts on achieving HL7's CDA as a primary information/data standard.From: Informatics in Medical Imaging [2019], A Service-Oriented Model for Personal Health Records [2020], Cloud Network Management [2020]

While there are several more comprehensive models of interoperability, two commonly discussed variants of interoperability include syntactic interoperability and semantic interoperability [81]. Syntactic interoperability refers to the format and encoding used when data is transferred [81], such as the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format used by Health Level 7’s Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) [62]. The syntactic interoperability format would not help interpret the data, but provides the basic foundation structure necessary for interoperability. A set of modern, commonly accepted formats for syntactic interoperability, such as XML and JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), are already being used in similar applications and have additional widespread use outside of healthcare.

In the health IT industry, the exchange of health data currently focuses on two primary focus areas: the standardization of information/data that gets exchanged and the development of standards for connecting disparate health IT systems. Regarding information/data standards, medical providers and technology vendors are focusing most of their effort on achieving Heath Level Seven International’s (HL7) clinical document architecture (CDA), a specification developed for clinical document exchanging between health care expressions that is based on a service-oriented environment.
